NOISE AND DUST Any speedway fans out there? If so. you ought to know about ET Software, of Leamington Spa. ET is speedway mad, and is publishing no fewer than three speedway programs for the Amstrad. These are: - Team Championship. This has you chasing the league title, working your way up through the heats, battling through fixtures and generally slogging your way to the top.
- World League. More of the same except that eight top countries and riders are taking part. You can elect to manage any of the countries.
- Speedway Datafile. This ones a bit different, not being a game at all. Instead, it's a way of keeping track of your favourite sport and personalities via a specially-designed database which can handle match reports, results, rider updates and more.
All three games cost £7 on cassette and £7.50 on disk. Or you can get the whole lot on disk for an all-in price of £18.Without having seen the programs I can't comment on them. They're none too cheap, but they are the only games for speedway strategy nuts I've ever heard of. Me? Give me GP racing any day. (The only time I ever went to a speedway meet I spent most of my day eating crunchy hot dogs and getting boiler clinker out of my eye.) NCE
